Today, I went to the National Folk Museum to study Korean culture and English.
I saw many cultural relics such as Goryeo Celadon and Tripitaka Koreana, but I was very interested in Hunmingeongum.
Hunmingeongum is Korean Alphabet that King Sejong made. I learned that King Sejong made the Hunmingeongum because many people couldn't learn and use Chinese letters because it was too hard to learn.
I feel such respect for King Sejong's kind-hearted mind for his people. I heard Hunmingeongum is the only alphabet that clearl shows the purpose, the inventor, and the period of time it was created. I felt so proud about Hunmingeongum and Korea when I heard it. So I think Hunmingeongum is better than Chinese letters, Hiragana, and the English Alphabet.
If King Sejong didn't invent Hunmingeongum, maybe I will study Chinese letters so hard. Plus, it is hard to write some posts on internet blogs and cafe because we can't use Chinese letter keyboards (it has so many letters!). Thus, I feel thankful for King Sejong, and officers of Jip-hyeon-jyeon.
Thank you!
Nice writing, good explanations, fantastic work :) |
